Abstract

In Chapter 13 we presented a method (the P-learning algorithm) for adaptive learning of successful designs that is based on the use of statistical experimental design and stochastic search algorithm. This chapter involves a real industrial problem of designing a flexible manufacturing system that was solved based on the P-learning algorithm.
